Mini Note Pad Cover with Pen Holder

- Thanks, Schell Fabian for allowing me to copy your tutorial. Here is a link to her channel. / babytweetums
The paper sizes you will need are as follows:
The paper that makes your pad cover is 8 3/8" wide by 5 1/4" tall score it on the 8 4/8" length on 3 5/8", 4" and 4 3/8"
To decorate the cover, you will need three of the following:
Plain color paper that matches your patterned paper (but is a different color than your cover) 3 1/2" x 5 1/8" tall and
three of patterned papers that are 3 3/8" x 5" tall
You'll need a strap to hold the tablet and that is the same color as your folder color and is 4 3/4" x 2" tall
Plus you'll need some sort of embellishments for the front
After scoring your paper, on the right side of the paper that is longer than the left, make a mark so you know this is where your tablet will go. This will save you some confusion later on.
Next, fold it on the center fold and cut two snips with the first about 1 1/2" from the top cutting into the score line you can see. You will make another cut to the score line about 1/2" below the first cut. This will make your pen holder.
Next, open your folder and fold on the last score line and close it. Your folder should be much longer on the back than on the front. This is correct. Next take your score tape and run a line of it down the length between the second and third score lines but omitting the section that will be your pen holder. Fold your back cover over and rub to make sure your tape adheres. Next fold on your center fold and stick your finger on the inside and push out the pen holder. Take the paper that is 4 3/4 x 2" and fold the edges around your paper pad. Put score tape on the back of the folded over edges.. Make sure you can pull your pad out so it can be replaced before you adhere it to the inside. Now adhere it where you made the mark for the paper pad and press firmly.
Take your three sets of papers and attach the patterned paper to the plain colored paper and then adhere one to the front and one to the inside cover and one to the back.
You should be able to find the paper pads at the Dollar Tree and the pens as well. Thanks for watching!

Hi, I have watched so so many videos on making these covers for the Dollar Tree notepads and yours is the BEST! You made it simple! Thanks 😊
Marilyn, I found your comment! So glad you liked this tutorial. I really love making covered note pads and have done a bunch of them, as well as covering Dollar Tree planners. I have a whole playlist of covered note pads and think there should be others you might want to make for your craft fair...Good luck with the fair...hope it's a great success. Sandy
Just found your page. This is the cutest example of this style I've seen!!! Great job!
You made my day. I love covering note pads and calendars and have playlists for them. I have a bunch of variations and ones you might like to try...Hope you'll send me photos of what you make with them...saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
I enjoyed watching you craft this notebook
Thanks Michelle, Thanks so kind of you.
I've watched a ton of videos on how to decorate these different size tablets and you explained it so beautiful. I'm not a fancy crafter and sometimes the demonstrators get me totally confused
with all of their technical jibbering, but I could follow you perfectly! I love your sense of humor too! I constantly make mistakes, like putting the front page decorations on the back, you know, but it's all fun! I know that this is an old video so I hope that you get this message and that you are still crafting. Thanks for making this easy. Don't worry about saying "then" too much. Mine is "And then", so I understand! lol Stay safe.....
I'm SO glad you can follow my instructions. When I started making crafts, I would get so frustrated when YTers would refer to cards as A2 instead of giving me the dimensions, so I try not to do that.. So happy you make the same mistakes as I make, because I make a lot of them...I made a perpetual birthday calendar video and the second part of that video, I made SO many mistakes that at one point I almost start to cry, because I punched the holes on the back cover on the wrong side, and there's no going back once you do that, haha...Hope you give this mini pad cover a try, as it turns out great every time. I love covering note pads and have a bunch of videos showing ideas I've come up with for them (inserting mini post-it-note pads and making fun decorated paper clips.) Let me know if you have an idea for a video you'd like me to cover. saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
I watched this video..and then...I decided to leave a comment 😆😆 you did make me chuckle at your efforts not to say...and then!
Love the pad holder. They would definitely make great gifts. Thanx
+Dr Woo Thanks for the comments. I'm trying not to say "and then," it's definitely a work in progress.
Terrific Note Book! Great 👍 job.
So glad you liked it..here are more that I've made. ruclips.net/video/FZzvBqo5iVg/видео.html
Beautiful beautiful work...thank you so much for sharing with us how to use the border punch..... others may know how to use it I don’t so thank you thank you .. I do appreciate ur time.. God bless..ps I’m very new to this..Tkx again😘
I'm so glad I could help you. If you ever have an issue with another tool and would like a video on it, please let me know and I'd be happy to make one. saundralparker@yahoo.com I love being able to help...Sandy
What a great little gift idea. I love your channel and appreciate your tips on how to keep on crafting when your hands don't want to cooperate.
Keep up the the wonderful crafting ideas.
+Brenda Prest Brenda, Thanks so much for your kind words. I hope my explanation wasn't too confusing. I think these are terrific for gifts as well. I have a video for covering junior legal pads and post it note covers if you think you'd like to see those as well.
I love listening to you. I had a really hard time figuring out the cover(glued it on inside out) because, I too, am not "mechanical"! Identifying the inside of the pad at the beginning saves lots of gluing mistakes. Thanks!
I love covering note pads and am glad you enjoyed the video. I cover so many note pads, but will continue making videos showing different ideas I come up with. Here's a link to the whole list of videos on covering note pads in case you are interested. Sandy

Adorable! Great little gifts.
+Melody Schroder Melody, I hope you give these a try. They are really cute and easy once you get past my explanation.
Love this project, love this tutorial & I especially love your sense of humour..........I am a relative newbie & will deffo be making this........Thank you XX
Oh Carol, you're talking to the right girl about covering note pads. I love doing it and here's a couple more videos so you can choose which idea you like best....ruclips.net/video/cqmMy_X7ahc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/xtg9Iq3grUE/видео.html If you have any questions, please let me know...Sandy saundralparker@yahoo.com
Crafting For Almost Everyone Thank you Sandy 😘
LOVE this idea! I've thought about making these before, but didn't know how to add the pad of paper so you could replace it when needed. I think you just gave me an idea for stocking stuffers at Christmas.
+Linda Edwards I have one for junior legal pads and post it notes as well. Any interest in seeing those?
+Crafting For Almost Everyone Most definitely! I actually have some junior legal pads that I bought at Staples; I had them cut them in half, so I have long slim notepads too. Thanks!
Sandy, thank you for this tutorial. I am headed to my basement (that's where my craft room is) to make these for the girls that work at the Library where I volunteer. Thanks for sharing.
Nanci, So glad you enjoyed this tutorial...I've covered all kinds of note pads and Dollar Tree calendars....and have a lot of options if you want to try others..here's the playlist if you want to watch more.. ruclips.net/video/BjawgXcvrXc/видео.html
I'd love to see a photo of the ones you create...saundralparker@yahoo.com Sandy
That is so cute! You make it look easy! Thank you so much!
+Elizabeth Dindal Thank Elizabeth, I really appreciate it.
I love your border punch! As for the "and then"; you're do a step by step. You have to say it! Lol TFS.
I gave up on the "and then", so now I just go with it. I now have a problem with stopping and starting and saying "OK" when I start again, but luckily, Rich edits that out. If I didn't have him, my videos would be frightening... I have a ton of border punches but rarely use them as I forget about tools until I remember them again. I'll try to use one in an upcoming video for you. Here's a video I made recently and used a really cool border punch and gave the name in one of the comments ruclips.net/video/71Emu9IM_s8/видео.html
I actually just saw some of these note pads in other colors at a store called Big Lots here in my town. I am going to get some to make for gifts to have on hand for when I need a quick something. I would love to see the post-it note version too. Love the bow bunch and how nicely you decorated yours up. I had no trouble at all with your explanation. You worry too much! :)
+Kay Myers Thanks Kay, I'll make the post it note holder as well for you. I really appreciate you saying it was easy to follow and hope you'll send me a photo when you make yours. I've never seen these pads at my Big Lots but always find them at the Dollar Tree. Schell finds her gel pens at her Party Supply store so if you don't have a Dollar Tree, you might have a Party Supply store nearby. email me your photo at saundralparker@yahoo.com. Thanks for being so sweet about my explanations and for your lovely comments.
Cute idea. Thanks for showing the bow punch. I haven't bought one, because I didn't think I could make the bow. Think I might order one now, that I saw how to put it together.
+Karen CrookedFingersCraft Glad you liked it. I only used my punch once before this video and I think it needs sharpened because it wasn't super easy to punch. I'm definitely going to use some aluminum foil on mine. I like how much easier this punch is verses a die for the same bow.
Awesome!!!! Love This! Making them soon! Thanks.
So glad you liked them...I have a few other options for you to try that are different and have more add-on's (if you will, haha)...ruclips.net/video/cqmMy_X7ahc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/xtg9Iq3grUE/видео.html and if you want to make planner gifts, here's a couple ideas for you. ruclips.net/video/t8Obw7M63Gc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/4DG471IwBdo/видео.html I always start with Dollar Tree planners or note pads and go from there. I hope you find other ideas to either add to the one you like, or maybe you like a different style better. I can't find the small pens at the Dollar Tree any more, but you can usually find them in "Party City" or other places that offer small prizes for gifts, like small pens. Hope I gave you more ideas..And if you ever run into any problems with how to do anything, please send me an email and I'd be happy to help...saundralparker@yahoo.com
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed
So glad you enjoyed it. I love covering note pads...here's a couple more that are fun. ruclips.net/video/cqmMy_X7ahc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/xtg9Iq3grUE/видео.html. If you like to have a calendar on hand, these are fun too. bigger ruclips.net/video/4DG471IwBdo/видео.html and smaller ruclips.net/video/t8Obw7M63Gc/видео.html I probably gave you a lot more videos than you'd ever want to watch, but thought you could pick through them for the things that are different in each.....
You did such a great job! I've been looking for something just like this. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to use your dimensions. TYFS!
You can always use anything I do and you can sell them too. I have this channel as a resource for others, so have a ball with these. I've got some others you might want to look at before deciding. ruclips.net/video/cqmMy_X7ahc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/I0snxOpldg4/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/hq37xbaF2Mc/видео.html Best of luck to you. Sandy

+Maria Morales Maria, Thanks so much. I really hope you will like my other videos as well!
Very nice and I will give it a try. TFS
I'd love to see what you make with them. If you'd share yours on my facebook page, crafting for almost everyone, I'm sure other viewers would enjoy seeing them as well.
Crafting For Almost Everyone Yes I will do that. Thanks again !
I laughed as I learned. How funny you are...and real!
Livie, Thanks so much for the nice note. I don't think we've ever talked before, so thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. So glad you laugh at my antics...Sandy
Love it!!! Thank you!!
Carolyn, Glad you like it and hope you like the others I've done as well. I've made so many of these and they are so handy. Sandy

+Debbie Lieb Debbie, I hope you do and email me a photo at saundralparker@yahoo.com. I would love to see yours.
I love it so adorable
Another fast and easy gift. If you and your kids do art projects, things like this would be easy and inexpensive to do..
now I got to get the bow punch lol I know your not saying we have to just to make this but it's so cute how could I not get it lol
They retired the punch but I'm sure you could find it on ebay.
Right got to love eBay
Can I share your tutorial with a class I’ll be teaching at our retreat?
You can do anything you want with my videos. I'm not monetized and do this to show people that even with physical limitations, we can all do something crafty....Hope this inspires your class. You might want to check my covered note pads playlist as you might find one you like better...Sandy
